I guess you could you say I am pretty lucky that my birthday (or "name day" as they call it in Game of Thrones..hahaha!) falls on St Patrick's Day. Throughout the years, many people have asked me if my birthday always falls on the same day.... um, yes. I wish I could say I also celebrate my heritage on this day, but Ive got not a lick a of Irish in me (this girl is all German and Norski). The number 17 also happens to be my lucky number, which really just ties it all back together (that's my work talk right there...).
Wilde Rover has become the official home of Marge Madness since 2007, and they have just been so good to me and family and friends over the years. This year was sort of the perfect storm of events interfering with my party: Sounders opening day/work, lots of new parents that couldn't leave the babes, people out of town, and the thought of waiting in line at a bar with 21 years olds, I think turned a few people off as well (since when did St. Patty's become another excuse to get slutty...LOL?)
Any who, my fabulous husband-to-be went early and saved some tables, and I want to thank all of my pals that came to celebrate with me and throw back a few Irish Car Bombs. It was a great nite, as always. Who wouldn't want their birthday complete with day drinking and 24/7 college basketball?!
Until next year.
